TEN BROCK GOES DEAD.
One of the Greatest Horses that Ever
Lived.

Banner 10Th.
The great Ten Brock died at the
home of his owner, F. b. Harper,
Woodford county, KY, yesterday.
He was fifteen years old. He died
of apoplexy. Mr.. Harper had re
fused $4,000 for the horse a lew
days before he died.
Ten Brock was the son Of Phae-
ton, out of Fannie Holton, she by
Lexington, and was foaled on Harp
er's farm at Midway in 1872. AS a
two-year old he was a slckly look
ing colt, and never amounted TO
anything. Neither did his per
Torrance as q three year-old at
tract attention. At four years Of
age, however, he developed into a
remarkable horse and won famous
races. In this year (lS76) he low
cred the record for . miles at Lex
ington to 1851, and ten days later,
at Churchill Downs, ran the fastest
four miles ever known and never
equaled or surpassed since, 7;l54
AS a FIVE year-old he was even
speedier, and in contest against
time on May Oath, at Louisville
lowered the record for a mile tc
I:393. This has never been beat
en-. A week later he also ran two
miles in 1921, which still stands as
the record.
He also had the best three miles
record up to 1884, when Drake
| Carter, his son, lowered it to 5:24 a
Sheepshead Bay, September 9th
But this only increased his fame, a
it demonstrated the sire's power tx
impart to his get his speed and stay
ing qualities.
| Ten Brock was not trained il
his two year old form, and his frs
start was as three-year-old a
Lexington. He was beaten b.
Aristides and King Alfonso in thi
year. In the first Kentucky Der
by, 1875, he was beaten by Arts
! tides.
He was the hero of many bar
race and beat all the contempora
ries of his day except Lorillard'
great Parole, whom he never me
but once. This was at Baltimore /
1877 in q special race against th
great son of bennington and ToI
Ochiltree. Ten Brock was, how
ever, out Of condition and had
lower his colors to Parole, who ha
since gained a number Of conquest
On Englieh soil.
ri His last appearance on a raj
course Was Ct the Louisville locke
Club track ON July 4, 1878, in
I four-mile heat race against Mol
! Mccarthy, the California crac
who up to this time has been u
beaten. The largest crowd that e

race, which vas for $4,000 sid

Grain Gambling,

1t is seldom that a cause and al
effect are set forth in more sug
gestive way than they were in one
Of the daily papers last week, which
published in parallel columns an
account Of the transactions of i
wheat ring in Chicago and a dis
| patch relating the flight of a promi
| nent judge of Michigan, brought to
ruin and disgrace by wheat specu-
lations. The juxtaposition of the
two accounts was doubtless acct
dental, but the one afforded COM
men.ary on the other too striking tc
escape notice. Adding to the force
and Suggestiveness of the parallel
ism was a brief telegram inserted in
the account of the wheat clique, in
which Chicago was made to bear
the name of domestic Monte Car
10" and the "Baden Baden of Amer
ica." These are harsh terms &c
apply to the Queen City of the
west, and are probably no moro de
served by it than New York and
gambling In stocks and breadstufs
Is carried on extensively. 3
The Michigan judge is only one
out OF many who have been brought
to dishonor and ruin through the
destinations of grain speculation
But the evil effects of such trans
actions fall not more heavily upon
the guilty spectators than upon
the people who are defrauded and
impoverished through the crafty
and dishonest doings of gram gam
blers. This disgracefuI business
has been going on for many years
and will doubtless continue to
dourish unchecked until the legisla
lures interfere or great revolution
occurs In business morals. At
tempts were made by several state
Legislatures during the past winter
to impose some restrictions upon
the practice of gambling on the
markets, but none so far as we know
that are likely to prove efectual in
remedying the evil. 1t is nationa
abuse, and we see no reason why
the general government should no
take up the matter and deal with il
AZ the general welfare and prospect
ty of the people demand. If gam
bling cannot be suppressed every
where, it should at least be kept GU
OF the markets, especially from
those which have to do with til,
great food staples and other necessl
ties of life. 1t should be made il
law, as it is in fact a crime agains
the people for a man to shut up tn
aatural avenues Of trade between
prod dcer and consumer with hi
com 'oinations and corners" to tn
distress and impoverlshmeut O

The Farmers Gazette gives the
following different ways OF treat
ing balky horses, which are recon-
mended for trial:
First, pat the horse on the neck,
examine him carefully; first one
side, then the other; if you can get
him handful of grass, give it to
him, and speak encouragingly to
him. Then jump into the wagon,
and give the word go, and he will
generally obey. Second, taking
the horse ont aud turning him
around in a circle until he is giddy
will generally start him. Third
another way to cure n balky horse
is, place your hand over his nose
and shut off his wind until h,
wants to go, Fourth, then, again
take "a couple of turns of stou
Irvine around the fore legs just be-

to the tendons. Fifth, again, you
can try the following: Take tn
tail of the horse between tbs
hind legs and tie it by cord t.
the saddle girth. Sixth, the las
remedy | know, is as follows: Ii

close to the head. This will diver

MADIsoN's GRAvE.-Within three miles
of Madison Run, Orange county, on the
Montpelier farm, there is a small graveyard
about ten yards square and surrounded by a
low brick wall. In one corner of the en-
closure lie the remains of ex-President Mad
ison, and the remainder of the ground is
occupied by the relatives of Mr.. Madison and
his wife. The gate by which the Enclosure
was once protected from the intrusion of
hogs and other stock was when the writer
last saw i'll thrown down, and the entire
Enclosure so grown up in brlars, weeds,
bushes and young trees as to make 1t I'M
practicable for any one to enter and inspect
the monument over President Madison's
grave. 1t might be well TO call public
attention to this sadly neglected tomb
of the ex-President. As the graveyard
is about two hundred yards from the
public road, and the right of way TO it re-
tanned, the interest on small sum Of money
placed in the hands of the county court, the
Virginia Historical Society, or some other
permanent organization, would be amply
sufficient to make the cemetery all that it
should be-COr. Bait. Sun.
